How can FarmPress help you grow your farm business?



GROW YOUR EMAIL MARKETING LIST

An email marketing list is THE most important communications asset you can own. Advanced opt-in forms such as pop-up boxes, welcome mats, ribbon bars and other advanced tools work great, but they’re expensive. Not for you, though, because they’re all included free within FarmPress. Plus you’ll have access to the list building and email marketing training courses within the Small Farm Nation Academy!

TAKE ORDERS & SELL PRODUCTS ONLINE

The engine in the FarmPress ecommerce store is WooCommerce, which is far and away the leading tool for ecommerce. Its ability to power the most complex online stores is proven. Integrating with payment providers, such as Stripe for credit cards or PayPal is easy and takes only a few minutes. You’ll have no trouble creating products and taking orders for farm products or events.

A SITE THAT LOOKS GREAT ON ALL DEVICES

More than 60% of web traffic comes from mobile devices, such as iPhones. So it’s critical that your site not only displays perfectly on all devices, but uses tools and design principles that help you to capture the visitor’s attention and convert them into email subscribers or customers. FarmPress is fully mobile responsive and is expertly designed to build your brand and grow your customer list.

l

CUSTOMIZE THE SITE BY YOURSELF

Why oh why is it always so difficult to customize a website template or to make simple changes? We’ve all been there, but the good news is that FarmPress uses modern and very sleek drag-and-drop tools that make it EASY to customize your site to meet your needs. And, since you’re a member of Small Farm Nation Academy, you’ll have ongoing access to help within the community, so you’ll never be stuck!

START FAST WITH A GORGEOUS DESIGN

Select one of the five beautiful FarmPress templates, change the logo and customize the text, and get your farm’s website up and running fast! Of course, it’s just as easy to fully customize your site and add as many pages as you’d like. The templates are just to get you started, and you’ll have all the technical and marketing training resources you need to thrive in the Small Farm Nation Academy.

FLEXIBILITY & POWER OF WORDPRESS

It’s tempting for small farms to start with Squarespace, Wix or even a customized farm website solution. But none of those tools compare to the power and flexibility of WordPress. That’s why Etsy, Yelp, Home Depot…even the Rolling Stones and other powerful brands rely on WordPress. Whatever your farm business requires, FarmPress has the power and flexibility to handle it today and in the future.



CREATE YOUR UNIQUE FARM BRAND

The “secret” to running a profitable small farm business is in building a farm “brand” that attracts loyal customers. That means effectively conveying your farm’s mission, vision and values in a way that resonates…and differentiates. Through brand training in the Small Farm Nation Academy and the beautiful design tools of FarmPress, you’ll have the skills and tools to establish a memorable farm brand.



NO LIMITATIONS ON WHAT YOU CAN DO

Squarespace, Wix and even specialized hosted solutions for farm websites have strict limits on what you can and can’t do because they’re not open-source the way WordPress is. So they won’t allow you to install third-party plugins or tools to customize the site to your farm’s need. Since FarmPress is built on WordPress, you can fully customize the site to meet the specific needs of your farm business.

MODERN ONE PAGE DESIGN

This page is an example of a one-page design, but a one-page design doesn’t mean you may only have one page. It’s just that fresh, modern designs display most of the content on the home page (like this one), while using secondary pages for blog posts, store products and more. Explore the FarmPress sites in the Gallery and you’ll see examples of one-page, responsive designs with multiple pages.

FARMPRESS THEME FAQs

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

Of course not. When you sign up it’s just month-to-month. I know you’ll love FarmPress, but if you ever want to leave for any reason, there’s no cancellation fee. But once you see how incredible your site is and how easy it is to maintain, we’re confident you’ll want to stay.

I have a (lame) website...can I move it to FarmPress?

Oh sure, and that’s pretty much how everyone will do it. I expect you already have your domain, but, if not, grab one now at GoDaddy. Easy to do and, once you set-up your site on FarmPress and have it just the way you want it, you just make a change to your DNS at GoDaddy (or wherever you purchased your domain) and have it point to our servers. Then your site will be live. And, don’t worry…if all this talk about DNS, cPanel, FTP, SSL and other acronyms and jargon is making your heart race, you’ll find training videos inside the member dashboard of Small Farm Nation Academy to walk you through everything, step-by-step..

Are there any fees for selling orders online?

There are no FarmPress fees for selling online. Zip, nada, zilch. Of course, to charge a customer’s credit card a payment gateway must be used. The industry standards for that are Stripe and PayPal, and both work seamlessly with FarmPress. Stripe takes a simple approach. They charge you a flat rate of 2.9% + 30¢ per successful charge as long as you’re doing under$1 million in volume per year. I suspect you are 😉

Is SSL, cPanel and FTP included with FarmPress hosting?

Yep, yep and yep. All sites created with the FarmPress theme and hosted by us come with a SSL certificate, so your customers will feel safe and secure, as should you. Speaking of you, you’ll also have FTP and cPanel access to your site, so you can transfer files that way and, of course, set-up email accounts using your domain.

I'm not a techie at all...will this be too hard for me?

If you can turn on a computer and connect to the Internet…you are tech-savvy enough for FarmPress! The step-by-step guide and videos hold your hand through the process every single step of the way. And if you need extra help, just post questions in the Small Farm Nation Academy forum. You’ll get same-day help and answers to your questions.

Is there training on how to use FarmPress?

Yes! The good news is that we built FarmPress using common tools, so not only do we have loads of FarmPress training modules within Small Farm Nation Academy, but there are tons more we’ll direct you to where you can learn even more. There are even dozens of training videos embedded in your FarmPress dashboard, so you won’t even have to leave your site to get answers to common questions. And if you’re comfortable with CSS (or hiring someone for that), there’s no limit to how you can customize your farm site or farm store with FarmPress..

Can I get feedback on my website design?

Sure! Just post in the Small Farm Nation Academy forum section and I’ll provide feedback on how effective your site is at meeting your objectives.

What does FarmPress integrate with?

With WordPress as the engine, it’ll be hard to find anything you can’t integrate with. Email providers such as MailChimp, MailerLite, ConvertKit, etc. all integrate with FarmPress sites, as do accounting systems, social media tools and pretty much anything you can think of.
